Somali jihadists: People should not watch World Cup soccer, lest it "distract them from pursuing holy jihad"

"There is no fun in Islam" - Ayatollah Komeini.

Unless you realize that the whole thing is one big joke. "I had to laugh because it hurt too much to cry."

Does the Quran say anything about watching the WC on TV?

Is Allah into sports? Does he take sides in football or tennis matches? I think so...There was once a baseball game between two different rehab units for drug, alcohol addicts...One of the guys made a spectacular outfield catch...
Later he said that if it was not for God he couldn't have done it...That's the first time I found out, that not only does God like baseball, he chooses sides and has favorite players...Hizbul-Islam is making a mistake...if Allah likes sports, it should be halal to watch them...Maybe someone in the area should tell them that...

Islam seems to have endless sense for stupidity and general ignorance.... maybe they are angry they didn't get admitted to football competition... or maybe got afraid that their team may lose... or already lost.
I just wonder what other bans will be imposed by everlasting stupidity of islamic leaders.

What is wrong with these Muslims -umm, let me count ways...!! Oh, I don't know where to begin when everything is wrong with them!!!

I suppose the risk of concupiscent arousal at a thigh-flick is just too much for the spuriously spiritual Ikwhan. Who are these freaks trying to fool? It's Control for its own sake.
Whether it's soccer or ballet, fingers on piano keys or the mind in a spelling-bee, the skill and functions of a creation of God is awesome. It's hardly a matter of sin when we applaud the best uses of a tools of God that is manifest for all to see.
In sans corpus, sans mentis.

...and the infidel still can't figure that Islam is a scourge against decency, common sense, and Human progress.

Sorry people, but as I said before we deserve no better than the leaders we produce, elect, and then tolerate.

"...all they that hate me love death."

Proverbs 8:36

Allah's lust for blood is growing: sports fans are now to be added to the list of fair-game targets for Islam's killers; a list which already included homosexuals, disobedient wives and daughters, apostates, and Jews.

Dedicated fans are watching matches in secret, or in the few areas controlled by government forces.

Of course, it was what are now "government forces" in Somalia—the old "Islamic Courts"—that were killing Somalis way back in 2006...for watching the World Cup.

Now these represent the 'kinder, gentler' Islamists—if only in contrast to Hizbul-Islam and the Shebab.

More:

"We are warning all the youth of Somalia not to dare watch these World Cup matches. It is a waste of money and time and they will not benefit anything or get any experience by watching mad men jumping up and down," he said.

Why admire the skill of some of the top athletes in the world, when you could be doing such productive things as hijacking commercial ships, engaging in clan warfare, mutilating your pre-school daughters' genitals with rusty razor blades, killing aid workers, or murdering "apostates"?

You know—things that *please Allah*?

Note to Duh Swami—yes, I, too, find declarations that God helped someone hit a home run or make a touch-down to be rather silly—although I think this should usually be taken to mean that God helped someone to 'be their best', rather than just score against the other, possibly less devout, team.

Remember—these sorts of statements tend to be made by practicing Christians. Personally, I'd rather have a God who helps someone 'dig down deep for a win' than one who helps someone *slaughter their enemies* any day.

It seems that we are in a desperate need to build more mosques/cultural centers to teach Americans about tolerance

I'm sorry, Marisol, I couldn't quite hear all that, what with the plaintive call of the vuvuzela blaring in my ear hole, no wait, I mean, the muezzin wailing in my ear hole.

What are they going to do about the other predominantly Muslim countries which are already playing in the World Cup? What if one of them wins? Will the Somali jihadists then declare war on that country?

It's like a deadly chart of stupidity.

These jihadists live in the cave age like their "Mo" who uttered some verses high on opium. Now his followers want to go in the same path. These guys need to revise their Quran to the modern day standards age of internet. They use high techs when needed but not allow people enjoy football ... bunch of ignorant idiots.

The legal opinions proclaimed by Islamic scholars, known as fatwas, have proliferated in the Muslim world since the 1980s. The growth in fatwas - some of them contradictory - has led to debate over who can legitimately issue them. As part of a government drive to eliminate frivolous fatwas, the Saudi newspaper Al Watan recently published one such edict setting out new rules for football. We publish an edited translation below.

In the name of God the merciful and benevolent:

1. International terminology that heretics use, such as "foul," "penalty", "corner," "goal", "out" and others, should be abandoned and not said. Whoever says them should be punished and ejected from the game.

2. Do not call "foul" and stop the game if someone falls and sprains a hand or foot or the ball touches his hand, and do not give a yellow or red card to whoever was responsible for the injury or tackle. Instead, it should be adjudicated according to Sharia rulings concerning broken bones and injuries.

3. Do not follow the heretics, the Jews, the Christians and especially evil America regarding the number of players. Do not play with 11 people. Add to this number or decrease it.

4. Play in your regular clothes or your pyjamas or something like that, but not coloured shorts and numbered T-shirts, because shorts and T-shirts are not Muslim clothing. Rather, they are heretical and western clothing, so beware of imitating their fashion.

5. If you have fulfilled these conditions and intend to play soccer, play to strengthen the body in order better to struggle in the way of God on high and to prepare the body for when it is called to jihad. Soccer is not for passing time or the thrill of so-called victory.

6. Do not play in two halves. Rather, play in one half or three halves in order to completely differentiate yourselves from the heretics, the corrupted and the disobedient.

7. If neither of you beats the other, or "wins", as it is called, and neither puts the leather between the posts, do not add extra time or penalties. Instead leave the field, because winning with extra time and penalty kicks is the pinnacle of imitating heretics and international rules.

8. Young crowds should not gather to watch when you play because if you are there for the sake of sports and strengthening your bodies as you claimed, why would people watch you? You should make them join your physical fitness and jihad preparation, or you should say: "Go proselytise and seek out morally reprehensible acts in the markets and the press and leave us to our physical fitness."

9. You should spit in the face of whoever puts the ball between the posts or uprights and then runs in order to get his friends to follow him and hug him like players in America or France do, and you should punish him, for what is the relationship between celebrating, hugging and kissing and the sports that you are practising?

10. You should use two posts instead of three pieces of wood or steel that you erect in order to put the ball between them, meaning that you should remove the crossbar in order not to imitate the heretics and in order to be entirely distinct from the soccer system's despotic international rules.

11. Do not do what is called "substitution," that is, taking the place of someone who has fallen, because this is a practice of the heretics in America and elsewhere.

Not only is islam know for lacking a capacity to create anything for the betterment of humanity and for its penchant for destroying human life , islam is also known well, save for a few sane in their midst, to not be able to take part in friendly competitive sports, less much for winning.
The delusional and warped psyche as also the monstrous ego rendered by the islamic brainwashed mind of the muslim flock disables it from productive competition including athletic events. They are poor and sore losers who alight with madness at the realization they are neither superior nor better than anybody when placed in an even field. Another proven sociopathic manifestation of their islamic way.

Since "winning" for muslims rarely if ever involves a soccer match, chess game or foot race, but involves hot war, then even if he said winning he meant killing. The beast is alive and now inside everywhere we attempt to have a quiet and free civic life. It's encroachment upon the lives of Jew's and Christians is very direct. This indeed is a very different war , a new war in which we as citizens have to carry the day , stay alert, resist and inform.

Thank you, Shiva. I needed a laugh. :)

""We are warning all the youth of Somalia not to dare watch these World Cup matches. It is a waste of money and time and they will not benefit anything or get any experience by watching mad men jumping up and down," he said.

Of course you can gain experience by joining the mad Muslim men as they jump up and down on some hapless Christian sap who just happened to be walking by....yep...

this is really the most pespotrious uncivilised hellish demagogue styled atitude from somali species monsters. they are definitely not human and deprived from any sensibility of any humanly living pattern. Anyone who will watch world cup should be punished!!!!!

wherein people from all around the world are watching and following this greatest event in the world of sports on one hand , on the other hand we have those i can't even continue ... i am disgusted and sick and tired .

Dear Robert those mega sick minded........ don't deserve our attention let them rot in hell

i have a world cup to watch!

Far be it for me to defend Muslims, but I believe most Muslims would express nothing but contempt for these people in Somalia. Muslims from other Muslim countries despise Somalians for their backwardness and barbarianism. I would like this kind of information to go out to other Muslim countries as an example of the possible future consequences of their loyalty to Islam. Let them see it for the downward spiral that it is, and love the kaffir for his lovely pastimes such as soccer.

"distract them from pursuing holy jihad"
Allah's proud fighting tradition, to this day beats with the heart of Mohammed: "One video, captured recently by the thermal-imagery technology housed in a sniper rifle, shows two Talibs in southern Afghanistan engaged in intimate relations with a donkey. Similar videos abound, including ground-surveillance footage that records a Talib fighter gratifying himself with a cow."

In Bengladesh they were staging riots because electrical blackouts prevented the watching of the matches. The government proposed shutting down factories during the World Cup so power would not be interrupted. Killing or beatings verses interrupting commerce. Must be one of those intersect "small differences" kind of thing we so often hear about...
